Abstract

Un appareil et des méthodes connexes concernent la suppression des arcs électriques dans un réservoir de combustible, dans lequel est placé un capteur de masse volumique de carburant, en isolant les composants électroniques du capteur dans une cavité entourée dun logement diélectrique. Le logement diélectrique isole physiquement les composants électroniques du capteur du carburant dans le réservoir de combustible en formant une barrière à carburant. Le logement diélectrique isole électriquement les composants électroniques du capteur dans la cavité des éventuels dangers de haute tension à lextérieur de la cavité. Lénergie lumineuse optiquement dun premier environnement à lextérieur de la cavité est transmise dans le logement diélectrique à un deuxième environnement dans la cavité pour fournir une alimentation de fonctionnement aux composants électroniques du capteur. Lénergie lumineuse est convertie en énergie électrique de courant continu dans la cavité. Un signal lumineux indiquant une densité de carburant est transmis optiquement du deuxième environnement dans la cavité dans le logement diélectrique au premier environnement à lextérieur de la cavité.
